TL;DR: It was concluded that a major effect of PRD is the production of chemical signals in drying roots that are transported to the leaves where they bring about a reduction in stomatal conductance.

TL;DR: It is shown how an understanding of the drought stress physiology of the whole plant can lead to substantial saving of irrigation water in agriculture.

TL;DR: Examples of application of the approach to phenotyping in the field and the steps in data analysis are outlined, demonstrating that clear genotypic variation may be detected despite substantial variation in soil moisture status or incident radiation by the use of appropriate normalisation techniques.

TL;DR: Advances in the understanding of the physiological factors influencing shoot growth and transpiration have allowed the development of novel irrigation methods for the control of vine vigour, and these new techniques, in combination with appropriate pruning and trellising methods, are providing new viticultural tools for controlling Vine vigour and water‐use efficiency.

TL;DR: The phenotypes of modified fruit ADH activity and volatile abundance were transmitted to second-generation plants in accordance with the patterns of inheritance of the transgenes.
